European tail lights?
Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on European style tail lights? Since, by law, turn signals need to be amber (if I'm correct), they end up making Camaros look pretty different. I was considering doing a conversion to this, just because of how odd it looks....

If I had to do that I'd install custom turn signal markers. You might as well buy a mustang if you're going to ruin your camaro like that... And why would they take off the wing? And the badge missing left some sort of indent. |

I think that law is not retroactive to prior models, its normally a 'as of 19XX / 20XX' type law (similar to the center mounted rear brake light).
i agree though, it would look a bit off... |

Yes, 2012 and 2013 EU models have the LED tail lights:
The bumper is slightly different as well. There are a few threads on xonversions done on US models. Cheers from Germany Michael |

But if you have to comply with the legislation of the French authorities, then the problem can be solved with orange LED light in to the original light. I have solved it this way and the clerk was satisfied. As with the fog light in the one reverse light. Otherwise, other terrifying solutions were produced on the Camaro due to the European market Or beautiful rear-view mirrors.

thank's George but I want to find the the entire rear light !
In Europe they cannot be found because they are no longer manufactured We have problems with these lights and it is not possible to find them in Europe at the right price!

Or do you have a US version and want to convert it to an EU? Because if you're converting the US version to the EU, I'd try to take a picture of how I did it. Maybe it would be an easier way.
